Questions & Answers about เขา ใส่ร้าย ฉัน จน ระแวง ทุก คน ค่ะ
The current lesson teaches the prefix ขี้-. Why isn't the word for paranoid here ขี้ระแวง?
You use ขี้ระแวง when describing someone who is generally "paranoid by nature" or a naturally suspicious person. In this sentence, the speaker is using just ระแวง because becoming paranoid is a specific, temporary reaction caused by the slander, rather than a permanent personality trait.
How does the word ใส่ร้าย (sai-rai) mean "slander"?
It is a compound word made up of ใส่ (to put / to add) and ร้าย (bad / evil / fierce). Literally meaning "to put badness (onto someone)", it is commonly used to mean slandering, smearing, or framing someone.
Why is there no pronoun before ระแวง? How do we know who became paranoid?
Thai often drops pronouns when the context is clear. Here, ฉัน (me) is the object being acted upon in the first half of the sentence ("He slandered me"). It is understood that this same person becomes the subject of the second half ("...until [I] became paranoid").
Does จน (jon) mean "until" or "so much that" in this context?
It functions as both! จน is a conjunction that connects an action to its outcome. While it literally translates to "until", in sentences like this it carries the feeling of "so much that" or "to the point where" the result happens.
